BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — The Golden Globe Awards nominations are a glittering collection of the biggest names in film and television.

“Emilia Pérez” is the leading nominee with 10 nominations, but Monday’s nominations gave a boost to several films hoping for Oscar nods, including “Wicked” and “The Substance.”

The Globes are known for bringing together television and film stars for the first major awards ceremony each year. The Globes will be presented on January 5 in Beverly Hills, California, at a ceremony hosted by comedian (and Globes nominee) Nikki Glaser.

Here’s a collection of reactions to this year’s Globes nominations:

Cynthia Erivo for “Wicked”

“This feels really surreal and wild, and I think it’s really special because it’s a musical…It feels like a really nice full circle moment to be celebrated for that, and it’s a bit like a dream come true because there definitely was a time.” But I didn’t think it would ever happen… I don’t know how often you get to do a big musical on the screen. Some people who don’t necessarily go to musicals will see this. It was just the most incredible thing I’ve seen and my eyes are wide open every day and my brain is blown away by the connection it makes with people.” – In an interview with The Associated Press. It is Erivo’s fourth Globe nomination.

Demi Moore for “The Substance”

“Just that recognition, that acknowledgment of being part of the conversation, I think is a huge win for women, but also for people who recognize the importance of self-love and self-acceptance, which is really the kind of overall message there.” I’m really excited.” — In an interview.

Nicole Kidman for “Babygirl”

“Wow!!!! Thank you to the members of the Golden Globes. I am very grateful to be included in this extraordinary list of nominations and am very grateful to Halina Reijn for entrusting me with the role of Romy. I share this with Harris , Antonio, Sophie and the entire cast of Babygirl.” — In a statement.

Cooper Koch for “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story”

“What I’m most excited about about the nomination is that I get another stage – a big stage – where I can advocate for them and speak to them. This part – this person – means a lot to me and it is very special.” — In an interview. Koch played Erik Menendez.
